Here at CCA, there are many people from different countries and different cultures. Everyone who has come to school here, leaves CCA saying that they’ve had a good experience living with other students from different parts of the world. It is not always easy to live with different cultures and different backgrounds but because students learn to live with each other and create unforgettable memories that broadens their view and their understanding it helps create a more balanced individual.

Being here at CCA teaches students to work together as a christian family and be there for each other. So far as a graduating student from CCA, I have had the best experience living with people from all over the world and everyone treating each other equally no matter the race or the background. I am very thankful to have experienced this kind of atmosphere.

Noel Schaak has served as the career counselor at Canyonville Christian Academy for the past 4 years. His duties consist of meeting with each senior to discuss his or her future plans, college choices, and career options. Based on this information, each student is encouraged to develop a plan for either college or a career path after high school. Noel’s travels to several foreign countries has given him some insight into what the international students and families expect and aspire to concerning college and career aspirations. The relatively small number of students allows for considerable personal interaction. The goal of the college and career counseling each student receives is to help them discover their God-given talents and purposes and to evelop a plan of success for the future professionally, academically, and personally!

The iPad 2, which it has been tentatively dubbed, is the next iteration of Apple’s popular tablet device. The iPad 2 has also been rumored to be called “iPad HD,” though without direct confirmation from Apple, we can’t be sure. If longstanding Apple development strategies are any indication, the iPad 2 will likely incorporate a number of evolutionary upgrades to the original iPad aesthetic and featureset, not a comprehensive new design.

What is new about the iPad 2? According to IGN GEAR again: without confirmation from Apple, we can’t say for sure, but alleged leaks from a variety of sources have given us a sense of what the new features of the device will entail. First, a China-based accessory manufacturer posted the alleged specs and even a complete mockup of the iPad 2 at CES, which they say were based on information provided by Apple. The specifications shown suggest that the new design will feature rounded edges more akin to the iPod touch, thinner casing measuring at just 0.37-inches thick, and front- and rear-facing cameras. The mockup design also included a revised speaker on the lower left corner, as well as an unknown port on the right.

Conclusion? The iPad 2 or iPad Too as some would say, will be revealed soon enough. But to some, it’s just not soon enough as they would like to have it in their hands, trying all it’s possible bells and whistle’s so to speak.
